Looking for a consensus!!

So on my front end work I'll be doing (ball joints)
What are the chances I can get a side done in a day?

Kinda what I'm thinking but I have a small window this weekend so might do one side now and the other later. If u can get some people to chime in that did it quickly I may just jump in.

I did mine in 2 parts.
With a few weeks between.

Couldn't remember if you did either part in a day or over a weekend. Looks like it'll be next month now at the earliest. Wife is having eye surgery and I'll be tending to her until at least Dec 7th.

SAFE BET...give yourself 8 hours for a side(first time doing it)
second side will be quicker, since you will be familiar with everything.
the biggest hold up for me was getting the hub assembly off, they can be a major PITA!

That is usually how it goes flow the first time and quicker after.
Not much on this but a few nuts but as you say the hub might give fits and then that dang plate sized seal can be a booger then get the the new joints in if the adapters don't fit.
I've done all my prep and homework and have everything needed tool wise and parts wise so I think I prepared properly so I think 8 hours is a good number per side--give a good bit of wiggle room I think. I'm just ready to get at it.
